This boosted confidence by various firms in the green hydrogen potential for revolutionizing India’s energy mix as well as the world’s carbon-less energy future.
This event was an accurate reflection of India’s green hydrogen ecosystem in the making with a clear increasing growth trajectory. This was encouraging to see that the industry as a whole has aligned to increase the usage of this clean energy carrier. Major points raised during the discussions included green hydrogen’s scope for generating more than ten million employment opportunities, generating several billion dollars in investment, and bringing significant value addition in terms of share of the gross domestic product.
One of the significant experiences was a meeting with Shri Pralhad Joshi, Minister of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE). The boost in the confidence of the industry was as a result of his endorsement for the government’s National Green Hydrogen Mission.
